Butter/Balm vs. Oil

Butters, balms, and oils all share a common purpose – to improve the health of your skin so that your facial hair looks and feels better. But each product also has its unique benefits and drawbacks, so which one you choose will be largely determined by the length and texture of your facial hair.

Balms, on the other hand, which are wax based, have such a strong hold that you could shape your hair into the Eiffel Tower. Detroit Beard Butter, which is as the name suggests is butter based, offers a medium hold.Unlike an oil, butter allows for some styling freedom without making the hair hard and brittle like a balm might. For many men, it’s the best of both worlds.

Coconut Oil
